Just donate money to Erika directly, why give the state a cut?
Posted this a while back. Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five (1969) ... He predicted the Balkanization of America...cause we seem to be assholes...
THis is why we need to KEEP Governor Hobbs...and get rig of the maga Biggs...
I had almost forgotten about Jules Bergmanβ¦loved that guyβ¦
Nope, NBC News updates were famously sponsored by Gulf. Dunno who sponsored CBSβ coverage. ABC News was kind of a joke in the 60s-70s except for Frank Reynolds and science correspondent Jules Bergman
What? No TANG?!
βYes, cognitive dissonance is still actually a thing. In the world of journalism, it would be a more exciting and clickable narrative if the answer were βno,β but thatβs the problem with narrative. Sometimes the truthβlike turning blocks one quarter of a turnβis just boring."

It's painfully obvious to me that a whole lot of people who are telling us the elections can't be interfered with are totally clueless concerning what has been done in several important states that will allow them to do just that.

Massie goes full beast mode today.
Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.
Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. ππ«
Why does trump and the Republi-Cons always hold rallies pushing their agenda and ginning up their base while the Democrats do basically nothing in return?
And then they wonder why their message isn't getting through to the people.
A recently fledged Cooper's hawk watches as a parent eats a chickadee. Falconers call a bird ready for hunting "yarak".
This a juvenile Cooper's Hawk watching one of the parents eating a chickadee. It basically ignored me. I took a few shots then left. Taken near the Dungeness Spit, Olympic Peninsula. The falconers call a bird ready to kill "yarak". So I call this one the same.
Classless.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.
On Jan. 7, a European Robin was spotted in Montreal. The bird was authenticated by the Cornell Ornithology Lab. No one knows how he could have crossed the Atlantic.π»π
If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.
THanks...
